Austerity Creates Chaos

More neighborhoods in London, as well as in Birmingham, Bristol and Liverpool tonight.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the countries experiencing mass riots and/or protests are the ones that have enacted the roughest austerity measures. Ours have been bad, so far, but the worst is on it's way. When you demolish the tiny safety net, you also demolish any good will the people might have had for a government under duress. At the same time, you stretch the police system to the brink.

And I have to wonder, since the fact that austerity and chaos go together is like peanut butter and chocolate- an old and oft tested remedy- what do the tacky little men in tacky blue suits think is going to happen when you cut and cut cut at the poor and the newly poor? I can't believe they are really too stupid to know that their actions will have consequences. They are nothing if not opportunists. So what opportunity do they think this will create?

Red Queen Says

Modesty is for people with nothing to brag about. You may catch more flies with honey but why the hell do you want to catch flies. Life isn’t fair, so you have to work your ass off to make it fairer. The worst insult is not to be called a ‘bitch” or a “cunt” but to be called a “coward” or “nice”. Fortunately, no one has ever had a reason to call me a coward and we won’t talk about what happened to the only person that ever called me a “nice girl”.
